With Turkey day hitting this week, it’s no surprise the release schedule is slow, with nothing new hitting theaters, and only a handful of items on DVD. GIRLS IN CHAINS looks fun, DEAD WINTER looks lame, and PSYCHIC KILLER looks interesting.. take your pick! Happy eating!
GIRLS IN CHAINS
Rated: UnRated
Starring Gary Kent, John Stoglin
Directed by Don Jones
Run Time: 86 Min.
In a remote country house, a malevolent form of sleaze and terror is being bred. A crazy mother encourages her two sons raving lunatic Frank and his not-all-there brother Johnny to kidnap young women and chain them up in the basement. The girls are treated like animals and then subjected to games that grow increasingly sinister and depraved. When the brothers tire of their playthings, the girls must be replaced. This lost exploitation classic is every bit as morally corrupt as you’ve heard.

A new age Shining. After leaving a New Years Eve party Kevin(Santos) and Tiffany(McCoy) find themselves battling the elements as well as inner demons as they try to make their way out of the deep forest. Based on true events.
PSYCHIC KILLER

Run Time: 89 Minutes
Before CARRIE… before PATRICK… there was Arnold.
Jim Hutton (Don t Be Afraid of the Dark) stars in his final feature film as Arnold Masters, a gentle recluse wrongfully convicted of murder and confined to a snake pit mental institution. When his elderly mother dies from neglect during his incarceration, Arnold devotes his hard time to mastering the voodoo art of astral projection… and remote control revenge. Death by concrete slab… by scalding shower… by meat slicer! No court could convict him because he was never there!
Sleazy, sordid, and filled with nudity and violence, this surreal oddity leaps from one bizarre setpiece to the next…
